Financial Loss, Liability Gain
Consumerism has hit me hard recently, making me get on my knees and grovel for a popular materialistic item, the iPod Touch - 2nd Edition. Even with our current economic situation with world debt being increasingly high and money dropping in value by the hour, the iPod is still referred to as an liability due to the fact it’s not making me any money and posesses the possibility of breaking down in some way.
I have lost some money surplus by giving in to my feelings which has been invoked by multiple things like incredible marketing. Not to mention, my own desire to hold something which has been beautifully crafted to perfection, with a sleek steel case and a 480×320 touch screen - it’s pure all over.
Pushing that aside, I will now be adding money to a personal fund, details I can’t exactly disclose however I can assure you it’s beneficial to my future and will secure profitable ventures - exciting! I will be removing my saving bar and replacing it with a new bar representing the money added to the fund, named “Success Fund”.

Hmm. Yes. Attack of the Apple Marketing Team.
Deadly.
It has finally hit me and here I was going against the grain…silly me!
Deadly is only 1 of many words to describe Apple’s power, look how its hit the world and Steve Jobs — turning him into a multi-billionaire!
